Walking into Resus, Max took every step slowly all most like as if he didn't want to see her, his perfect girlfriend. Immediately after the machines had begun making the loud signals that echoed through the room, he was ushered from her side for hours. As he reached the hospital bed, he looked down at her; his Zoe. It amazed him how perfect she was, even at her worse she was still his everything.

Memories filled his head from when they first, when he first spoke to her asking for a lighter hearing her infectious laugh. He could still feel their first kiss on his lips, the taste of nicotine and Zoe's lipstick wasn't a pleasant mix but one he'd do anything to relive. Max didn't hold back the tears, he allowed them to fall as he remembered everything about Zoe; the good, the bad and everything he was going to miss.

Holding Zoe's hand, Max intertwined his fingers with hers one last time before placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. Feeling a warm touch on his back, he ever so slightly turned his head as he was faced with Tess of whom was holding baby Noah in her arms, waiting for Max to take him from her. Taking one last look at Zoe, he retrieved his son from the senior nurse, rubbing a smooth line with the tip of his finger on Noah's fragile cheek. Although he'd just been born, he was the replica of his mother.

"This is your mummy" Max informed the clueless infant as he nodded down at Zoe's lifeless body "she's one of the most perfect and wonderful women you could ever meet, and I'm so, so sorry you'll never get to meet her but I'll tell you about her everyday, I promise" he stuttered as the tears cascaded heavily down his already stained face as he held his son close to him.

"Max, they're ready to take Zoe now" Tess said softly not wanting to upset him anymore than he is, as she pointed to the porters entering Resus. Reluctantly Max gave a small nod knowing his time with the love of his life was now up forever.

"Goodbye Zoe Hanna, I'll always love you" Max cried still holding baby Noah as he gave Zoe one last kiss on her lips, hoping she'd wake up and return the kiss. He watched as her body was taken from Resus as the porters transferred her to the morgue, cruelly taking her from him. He wanted to keep her forever and never let her go, in his eyes, she was his Zoe Hanna.

Glancing down to his sleeping son Max realised he would always have a part of Zoe with him through Noah, it wasn't the same but he wasn't going to let anything happen to his son; he was proof of the love that was shared between a doctor and a porter.
